Aunt to Sidney Smart Wahl
The cook shack was an integral part of a harvest. Pulled into a
field, two cooks provided meals for a huge harvest crew, and all day
job! Note the
milk cow on the right! It was extremely hard hard work
and under the toughest conditions!
They had no air conditioning, no refrigerators, but could always
count on
lots of flies! The hard work must have been good for Sarah, as she
lived to be 105! Those who knew her remarked that she was an
amazing woman!

As a Centennial project, Karla Fowles & Carol Kelly made & designed
the Centennial Calendar to honor Lind's growth. The information was
gathered with
help from historian, Georgia Hays, who directed the journey of
Lind's past, in the Adams County
Historical Society building in Lind, WA. The project was completed
in time to honor
Lind's first 100 years.
Thus, if you think your favorite newspaper is full of interesting,
thought provoking articles, then read the articles taken

COMMUNITY NEWS1900A "lady" of exceedingly easy virtue and a
"gentleman friend" with an inordinate supply of immaculate gall
struck town one day last week. They pitched a tent up in the east
end of town and hung out a red light. There was a kick made and the
Deputy Sheriff gave thema pretty straight tip to the effect that Lind
was a good town to get out of. They got!

A local citizen took his departure to enter
the Northern Indiana College of Pharmacy to be converted into a pill
and powder constructor. It will take him at least a year to complete
his course in college. 1901A "lady" of exceedingly easy virtue and a
"gentleman friend" with an inordinate supply of immaculate gall
struck town one day last week. They pitched a tent up in the east
end of town and hung out a red light. There was a kick made and the
Deputy Sheriff gave them a pretty straight tip to the effect that
Lind was a good town to get out of. They got. 1910One day this week a fellow had the cast iron
nerve to steal a hat belonging to our police judge. He was captured
by an officer and it's presumed he will be duly executed.1920
"The showers that fell this week have broadened
the smiles of the Lind farmers by several inches. The rain last
Sunday and Monday soaked the ground up considerable and will go a
long way to help the wheat crop mature. Some of the early wheat are
already beginning to head out."

a local farmer living on Rattlesnake Flats brought in a specimen of
this wheat to the editor which measured 42 inches high. This is just
an average specimen of the 600 acres and he espects to get about 35
bushes per acre unless it is damaged by the hot weather. The farmer
always seems to raise a good crop.

SPORTS
NEWS1920The Lind Boys played a rotten game on their
home ground the last week. One player from the disastrous game ended
up losing nine teeth. What a game!!! As a reporter, I hate to ever
see another like it.1901"Well, well, well; We beat Ritzville all to -------well, well well.
Last Sunday the Ritzville nine and the Lind team met on the local
diamond and Ritzville's hide is hanging over our back yard fence.
The local team won and the Lind is "it" with a big T---baseballistically
speaking. It was a snappy little scrappy little game from start to
finish and the fans had continuous earsplitting 'rooting' that would
strain most anything but leather lungs!!!"

HEALTH
NEWS1903"An
undisclosed name had the piles. Doctors and dollars could do him no
everlasting good. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured him and
permanently. Invaluable for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, eczema,
tetter, and other skin diseases. Look for the name DeWitt on the
package. All others are worthless, counterfeits. Sold at your local
drug store."

Heard about a California girl who sent a dollar to a smart New Youk
man in answer to his advertisment of a "Sure Cure" for freckles. He
sent her the following recipe:
"Remove the freckles with a pen knife, sok them overnight in slt
water, then hang them up in the smose house in a good strong smoke
made of sawdust and slippery elm bark for a week. Freckles thus
treated stay cured."

WEATHER
NEWS1900
We've had a variegated assortment of cuss-provoking, weather this
week. Some snow, some blow, and some great big gobs of cold!!!1920Can you
beat it? Snow, dust, rain, and sunshine---all within an hour. Some
country without a doubt.
